Hi I am doing my homework but I don't get this question-

These questions have to have the same answer.
The total of the 3 numbers is 20.
The product of the numbers is 90.

I hope you can answer
thank you.

The answer:

20 = 15 + 3 + 2

90 = 15 x 3 x 2

The three numbers are 15, 3, and 2

ok it wants you to take three numbers that add to 20 and then those three numbers need to multiply together to make 90

so 15+3+2= 20
then 15 x 3= 45 and 45 x 2=90
so 15, 3 and 2 are possible numbers
